Once you have fi nished to recording the fi rst VARIATION, you can either:
To select a new RIFF (BasicMin, Basic7th, IntroMaj, IntroMin. Intro7th, Fill, etc).
Use the +/– button to select another RIFF.
Beware: The notes played during the count in will be not recorded. The measure counter
is active in the display and the events occurring are shown. “00” measure indicates the
empty beat.
Once the end of the RIFF is reached, the recording starts again from the fi rst beat and all
the notes already recorded are played back. This feature is particularly useful recording
the Drums track, since it is possible to add a new instrument every time the loop restarts.
Remember: simple Variations lead to the best results. A simple Variation can be enhanced and enriched by adding new
tracks. For example, you can record Major Variation 1 on three tracks only (Drums, Bass, Acc1) and with simple patterns.
Record Variation 2 setting Major e Minor in the same tracks (Drums, Bass, Acc1), but adding small differences. Variation 4
can be recorded on 4 tracks (Drums, Bass, Acc1, Acc2) and further changes to its patterns. Variation 4 could feature Major,
Minor and 7th chords on all of the fi ve tracks (Drums, Bass, Acc1, Acc2, Acc3) and more complex RIFFS.
NOTE: Each Variation may only contain a Fill pattern.
Once you have fi nished to record, press ESCAPE to exit the SEQUENCER mode.
